# Postmark vs Resend for Next.js

Both are email batteries. A repo takes one of them, not both.

| | Postmark | Resend |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | Transactional email through Postmark, behind one provider-agnostic send function. React Email templates are rendered to HTML and text before sending. Transactional and broadcast mail use separate message streams. The suppression list is mirrored from Postmark's own. A basic-auth webhook handles bounces, spam complaints and subscription changes. | Transactional email through Resend, behind one provider-agnostic send function. React Email templates cover sign-in links, password resets, email checks, welcome and receipts. Every transactional send carries an idempotency key. A bounce webhook stops you mailing an address that no longer exists. |
| Pricing | Free developer plan: 100 emails a month, no expiry. Paid plans start at $15/month for 10,000 emails. Every plan keeps 45 days of message history by default. Dedicated IPs (from $50/month) and longer retention are add-ons. | Free: 3,000 emails a month (100 a day) on up to 3 domains. Pro is $20/month for 50,000 emails and 10 domains. Every self-serve plan keeps 30 days of data. Dedicated IPs are a $30/month add-on on Scale. |
| Best for | Products where the transactional mail has to arrive now: sign-in links, password resets, receipts. Also teams that send some marketing and want it kept on separate infrastructure from the mail that must not fail. | Product teams sending transactional mail: magic links, receipts, notifications. Templates are React components, reviewed in a pull request, not pasted into a vendor's WYSIWYG editor. |
